Why you have to enjoy life

No matter the stage you are going through: a hard economic state, an illness, a crippling work situation; there will always be ways and reasons to enjoy life. Just witness how a little one spends the day so happy and enthusiastic, while an old man enjoys every conversation he has with his loved ones. The child rejoices with every treat they give him, while the old man delights with each sunset he witnesses. These things help us understand how easy it can be to enjoy life.

Now, you could be asking how you can enjoy life, even if your economic or health condition is not in good shape. Well, let me tell you that you only have to learn to enjoy life, it does not matter if you have scarce resources or suffer from a health condition.

To enjoy life and be happy, is as simple as appreciating those small moments that are gifted to you: a tasty and delicious meal, a walk with a beautiful view, a date with pleasant company. You can even find joy, at the conform of your home. Every time that you cherish is enough to make you appreciate being alive. Everything depends on you and the attitude with which you receive those moments.

First, it is not about secret keys or mystical principles guarded with suspicion by great philosophers or psychologists, but a rational foundation that appears in one of the oldest books in the world: The Bible.
Specifically, in the sacred scriptures, you will find many allusions about what is the existential stage and why we should enjoy life and be happy. For example, in Ecclesiastes 2:24 of the Queen-Valera version, you will find that it states: “There is nothing better for a man than to eat, drink, and let his soul be happy in his work. I have also seen that this is from the hand of God. “; that is, God commands to enjoy even the work activity, not to see it as a torment.

And if it is about looking for reasons why you should enjoy life, the same scriptures inspired by God let you know that there is no reason to live a life absent of enjoyment. In the first place, it is logical to think that no father wants to see his son suffer, and live a joyless life. Therefore, it is crucial that we find our existential purpose and that in turn will also help us find what gives us satisfaction.

As Eleanor Roosevelt said, “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”

Consequently, it is essential to learn to live full of joy; it does not matter if you have many problems, just concentrate on finding happiness and pleasure in everything you do. Live and enjoy every moment of your time, that way you will be thanking God and your mother for that beautiful gift called life.
